Recent Acquisitions

[Concavenator]

It's a great mosasarus figure, probably the best, but I don't like how the teeth overlap and prevent the mouth to fully close

I wish the mouth fully closed too, but I wouldn't let a detail like that ruin the figure, it is a heck of an awesome piece, and one could always pretend the mouth is partially open even when it is meant to be closed, or just display it with its mouth agape. FWIW, I highly recommend it. 

[SenSx]

Yes of course, but it's just me, I'm such a fanatic for closed mouth 
Don't take my critic as something that should prevent you from getting this figure, I own it as well nevertheless 
But I think someday I might replace it by a resin one just to get the perfect for my tastes.
It will of course be a lot more expansive, this Collecta is a much better choice for a quality/price balance.

Oh my god I think that book about dinosaurs in the city is one I loved in kindergarten and forgot about until today, amazing find!

You and me both! I adored it as a child and still do, it's one of the loveliest books about dinosaurs for kids I've ever seen and I can still recommend it to every parent!

[Halichoeres]

The latest package from Dan's Dinosaurs has finally arrived! Love these two so much! When I saw the Lufengosaurus I knew I just had to have it, and what better figure to get alongside it than Therizinosaurus! I only have the Edmonto on hand rn but here's a comp with it!

I'm impatiently waiting for Happy Hen to get the Lufengo in. Best PNSO release in a couple of years, in my book.

[Brontozaurus]

The distribution of Jurassic World toys in Australia has been terrible for most of the year (it's been wave 1 of the wild roars, Allosaurus and Triceratops all the way down), but I finally found some new danger packs today!*

The Poposaurus is definitely my favourite of the two (not that Kileskus is bad, I'm just more excited for pseudosuchians), but it's got wonky legs and can't stand. Guess it's time for the ol' hot water/hairdryer treatment.

* I did find the Ornithocheirus a few weeks ago, but without teeth it just looks so awful, so I'm skipping it.

[Carnoking]

The April Acquisitions, including a HAOLONGGOOD Haul, Nanmu newcomers, PNSO, and even my first Papo in years! As always, more photos to be found in the respective threads of these new faces.

[Ludodactylus]

That's a spectacular haul @Carnoking !

[Prehistory Resurrection]

Just got the 2022 Mattel Legacy Collection Isla Sorna Capture Pack today. Nice to have got hold of this set as it conveys the main plot of The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Got it at one of my local toy shops. Lucky as it was the last one to be on the shelf. Apart from this, some Dino Tracker figures here and there and the JP 30th Anniversary red T-Rex. But this set caught my attention.

The packaging is very beautiful and captures the Isla Sorna environment.

Not a huge fan of the Parasaurolophus sculpt though. Works well as a juvenile though. Papo's version for comparison;

Look what I got. Does anybody here recognise this, or get why I'm so happy about it?

I don't recognize it, but it reminds me of the Topps Dinosaurs Attack! cards.

[CityRaptor]

Godzilla Doom Island "Velociraptor"? And it is somewhat rare?

That's right! These were only available for a super brief time back in the 90s, through Trendmaster's website.
I got this for only £8. I never thought I'd see anything from Godzilla: Doom Island in person!

[Dilopho]

I don't recognize it, but it reminds me of the Topps Dinosaurs Attack! cards.

It reminds me of those too, and also the Monsters in my Pocket Dinosaurs.

[Faelrin]

Nothing too exciting but got these both on sale at Amazon for about $10 each. The JPIII set is still on sale. Edit: Kind of a mini early birthday haul I guess (which is later this month).



Bonus Buddy boy pic (has claimed the box they came in):

[Concavenator]

@Faelrin perhaps not too exciting for you, but your cat sure has a distinct satisfaction face. 

[Faelrin]

@Concavenator Well I wasn't sure it would too much of an exciting haul to see for folks here. I am excited to have the baby Stegosaurus in hand. Really cute, and better then I thought it was initially (more thoughts on that in the 2024 thread). Having a JPIII Grant (and raptor) is great, after missing out on the 2019 version. Just need the Corythosaurus (and hopefully a HC Spinosaurus).

And yes, he's already getting a fair amount of use of it, as is Bob, on of our 2 female cats (other then my baby girl Spaz), and our second oldest cat:

[Concavenator]

Got Safari's Utahraptor in! 

So exciting to finally have a good figure of this iconic species. Can always count on Safari for a great dromaeosaur figure.

[Bread]

Haolonggood's latest figures are fantastic! 

[Carnoking]

They look right home alongside those PNSO figures. The Albertosaurus and Gorgosaurus look great with those lips!

[SidB]

So nice to celebrate terrific figures over against nitpicking critical comments of the same figures.
